I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at B&Q (Coventry, England) in Aug 2015
Interview
Easy run of the mill interview process. I had a phone interview and then a 1 to 1 interview with a manager. I think they do it differently now though where you have a group interview in a team building exercise.

Very relaxed interview. Beforehand was reassured by a colleague while waiting. Interviewer was friendly and easy to talk to. Felt comfortable enough to ask for feedback on the interview itself at the end.
